It was a great chance to cut down on school time by three years
The school’s career fair wasn’t something I planned on attending. The event was expected to mirror the one from the previous year. The school career fair was mandatory attendance for all juniors and seniors. My best friend and I had to pick three occupations that we would both be interested in trying out and write a report explaining our rationale for doing so. I intended to repeat my actions from last year. My plan was to visit the career fair for a few minutes and then waste the rest of the school day. Since my fantastic friend and I would be graduating in a few months, I wanted to spend time with our mutual friends. Bryan was the first to visit a vendor’s stall. Since his grandfather ran a local HVAC business, he was thinking about following in his footsteps. Jake paused with him, and the two of them seemed genuinely interested in the guys’ story. Jesus had sat down in front of the sign-up counter. A career in the Air Force was something he’d considered. His mother was the only one who could have stopped him from talking about it, but she wasn’t here today. I was wandering around aimlessly until I spotted a man standing alone in a corner. I inquired as to his wares. He told me he was representing the neighborhood community school and trying to get people to enroll in their vocational programs rather than the regular ones. It was a great chance to cut down on school time by three years. He claimed to offer HVAC and heating classes among others, but I wasn’t paying attention. I enrolled in a Heating and Air Conditioning course that began two weeks after I graduated because I needed to support myself financially.
